On a recent transaction, only through her tenacious and relentless efforts dealing with the other party’s mediocre agent, and an unprofessional sub-par lender were we able to close the deal. What makes this experience even more incredible is that she does ten times the work, yet her fee is half or less than what others charge.

I will never, ever, ever, ever, buy or sell another property without Leslie. She is the real deal."
